St. Patrick's Day -- aka Cat Humiliation Day

It is St. Patrick's Day -- also known in our house as Humiliate the Cat Day and Lizzie just wanted to say hello!

Actually she really wanted to say "Get me out of this tie that makes me look like a bad burlesque comic -- or even worse, Milton Berle."

"Really, the treats aren't working for me all that well."

(I wonder if occasions like this are playing into her recent thinking outside the box issues?)

The soda bread is in the oven, the Bailey's ice cream in the freezer...(whip one pint of heavy cream, add one can of sweetened condensed milk and about 2T (or a tad more) of Bailey's, spread in a pan and freeze. Serve with shaved chocolate on top!)

...and I'm just getting the St. Paddy's Day Killer Irish Creme fudge out of the pan (which is easier said than done. Photos soon.

Rick's doing the corned beef and we'll all be listening to Irish songs today. Well, not Lizzie... girl doesn't know how to party.

Your poor suffering cat looks very insulted, although she really looks great as a Paddy Ambassador! Your food looks great again, enjoy, have fun, and may the road rise up to meet you and the sun shine warm on your back. Hugs, Valerie

Lizzie is so darling! I truly believe that when a cat tilts their ears back that is them giving us the "finger"..... pay attention next time, you'll see those ears going back.... and you'll get what they are saying! lol

Love your St. Patrick's Day routine, Jeanie! And thanks so much for the great ice cream recipe. The pictures of Lizzie are priceless. Now you've inspired me to see how much -- in the dwindling hours of the day -- I can humiliate our four!!

Are Lizzie's eyes really that green, or is that tie reflecting into them. Poor Lizzie.

Can't wait to see your dessert concoction, and had to laugh at Lizzie's humiliation. I know what Bleubeard would have done if I'd tried to put a tie on him. Oh wait. That would be Squiggles who would have attacked me.

What a fun way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! Lizzie looks as if she's had enough of the fun but she looks so cute. Yum, Jeanie, I wish I had a slice of the soda bread and cream!. I love Irish music........

I love the Lizzie photos!! You can just see her wrath for that bowtie in her expression! Too funny. We could never get a bowtie on Oscar. Maybe if she ever calms down a bit we could but that's years away!

Sounds like a wonderful and delicious St. Patty's Day celebration!! I want a bowl of that ice cream and a slice of the fudge. YUM.

Oh Lizzie, you handled that tie better that my Joey would have done. I could tell you weren't particularly thrilled. How nice that your mama got a few pictures of you on this special day. Hope it was a good one.

About Gypsy!

The Marmelade Gypsy was a big orange cat who happened into my life when he was abandoned long ago and took up residence in the window well. Within a few months, he had moved inside the house and took up residence inside my heart (and on the couch, in the window, on the bed...) He was one sweet boy, the ultimate cat who served as pet therapist, executive assistant and secret keeper. He will always hold a huge spot in my heart. Goodbye, Mr. Gyps.

Lizzie Cosette

Lizzie Cosette may be neither marmelade nor a gypsy, but she is indeed a "Marmee," as the March sisters in "Little Women" referred to their mother. Found in an abandoned garage with three kittens, she was fostered until she found a new home and human to love her.

Happy Together!
